How should the police respond in such a situation?
Send one cop to find out if more cops are needed?
In this situation, the police are in a difficult situation that the rest of us get to armchair-commando second-guess.
If Russian gangsters DID break into your house and shoot your spouse, and the police DIDN'T show up in force, everyone would cry about THAT. And lawsuits would ensue. Carreers would be ruined, lives would be ruined, and quite possibly more poeple would have died.
But thats ok, right? As long as you aren't inconvenienced.
A government deciding it has the right to control the deal is a government deciding that there IS no property. Using that metric, all property belongs to the community.
Pro sports players make too much money. Most people agree on that. But the athletes have a boss who makes payroll... and it is up to the boss and the athlete to negotiate a deal, no one else's business. If the team can make 10 million and 1 dollars per year from the athlete, the team can afford (figuratively) to pay the athlete up to 10 million, pocket the left-over dollar and still come out ahead. It's not up to whiney leftists to declare what "fair" pay is or isn't. It's not up to politicians, pandering to the whiney leftists for votes, to declare what "fair" is.
It's funny to hear people say "equal" with respect to socialism. Ideas so good, they have to be mandatory and enforced by people with guns.
If you don't like the government controlling every aspect of your life, don't cheer when a government controls yet another aspect of someone's life.
Leftism boils democracy down to "two wolves and one lamb" voting on dinner.
Stop cheering for communism. It sounds fun at first... with all the "big X" and "fat cat" talk, maybe a few Che posters and an occupy rally.... but eventually you end up in a gulag.
I was quite shocked to see amusement park rides at State Parks in some states East of Mississippi.
I grew up thinking that State Parks were semi-sacred natural places like National Parks. And that's in conservative, consumptive-model-of-natural-resourse-management, Utah.
The Constitution of the United States is the document that tells the government what it CAN do. It is what "constitutes" the federal government.
If your "freedom of speech" is up for interpretation every time someone says something bad, you have no freedom of speech.
If you are so quick to give away the rights of others simply because they aren't the rights YOU don't get much use out of then all YOUR liberties will be short lived as well.
If one "right" can be taken away, then they all can. Then we have no rights, just privileges at the whims of others.
Slashdot Mirror
Brontosaurus.
What else did they lie to us about?
But if you are a publicly funded institution, you just make the taxpayers suck up the power bill while you 4: profit!!!1!
i submitted the spamhaus ddos when it started... but slashdot was too busy talking about sxsw.
The GSA isn't a state agency.
That's like saying a teacher not wanting to be a programmer without a new contract is like blackmale.

A small army of cops showed up to save Brian from Russian gangsters.
They didn't kill Brian, and everyone learned a lesson.
How about you save that whiney anti-cop bullshit for your drum circle?
I dunno.
I think it's more like being told in 6 years you WILL have alzhiemers and there's nothing you can do about it. And, yes, the test is 100% accurate.
Depressing.
Careful dude, every time I mention Obama treating private property like communal property, I get down-modded.
Besides, all this communism can't pay for itself!
There's a great Soviet Russia joke in there somewhere.
Ahh. See, now you are anthropomorphizing the humans.
They don't like that.
Look for Democrats to do something similar for THEIR communist hero when Obama dies of old age, still in office, 30 years from now.
Two parties have a deal.
That deal is THEIR property.

Who brought that chair in here? Not me.
No way.
Not my chair, not my problem I say.

Man, go read the post.

Basically, if someone wants to shut you down, they can use anything sex-related as a weapon. And if anyone disagrees, you become the enemy.
Violet Blue got shut down because the presentation *mentioned* the sex.
And if you ever disagree with someone who claims to be sensitive to the topic (abuse survivor), then you are worse than hitler.
Outrage is called for.
Once upon a time, someone *might* have argued that they both had to be earned, and not handed out lightly or for political purposes.
...and them someone complains that the duress detection could be fooled by using a mix of mild narcotics.
My point is people will soon be here to bitch about how all the work you are doing is SOOO stupid.
And now you can read some examples without even leaving this browser tab!
Passwords, someone complains you can just beat people with wrenches.
Biometrics, someone complains you can just cut off a body part.
Biometrics with life detection, someone complains the system can't detect if the persons family is being held hostage....
If you ever drop your continent into a river of molten lava, let it go, because, man, it's gone.

This story can't be true in all markets.
In my area, many employers look at a degree as something to be avoided if it isn't outright needed.
They don't really want a know-it-all with all these great job options out there (their perception, not necessarily reality).
They want you to know how to do the job already, but still need the employer.
I got more calls back when I used my still-in-school resume.

Only if you define "net gain" as "a change over a time period which best suits my argument".
The co2 in the coal was atmospheric once before, and it will be again.
Turning it into biodiesel basically uses the CO2 as a carier for energy captured from the sun by photosynthesis.
